"I've spoken to the people at the club (Derby) and I've spoken to Frank briefly, and said 'If you need any help moving forward to assess any of the players or anything like that, just let me know'," Rowett told the Derby Telegraph.

"I'll always help out, that's how I work. I've never tried to not help anyone. I still speak to people at Birmingham, I still speak to people at Burton. That's how I work.

"I certainly wish Frank all the best. He's got a really good group of players.

"I think they've probably got a summer of a little bit of a restructure, which might actually help to have some new eyes on that, rather than someone who sees a lot of those loan players coming back that had already left the building under that (previous) management.
